    Depends on which SC you're talking about, but usually the Junior is on in early May, Intermediate is early June and Senior is early July.

    I just had a look on the GUI site Opens list. Absolutely no Scratch Cups listed. I know it's early, but they usually have a few of the March / April ones up in December, don't they? Wondering if there simply are none up yet, or if it's a search glitch.

    GUI are currently upgrading golfnet website and its in here that clubs add the open fixtures. Most of the features in golfnet are disabled at present until the new site is launched so clubs cant add any fixtures at the moment.

    Apologies if this is a stupid question but does anyone know if any club hold their Junior scratch and intermediate cup on the same weekend? I play off 12and my buddy plays off 6. It would be nice to play some quality course over the same weekend....

    Yeah, lots of them do. It's a handy way to get out with buddies in different handicap categories as you suggest.

    Thanks for your reply. Is it a matter of simply keeping an eye on the gui website or is there some other way of finding out fixtures and dates?

    Apols for the delay, yeah pretty much just keep track of the GUI open list. That's how I do it anyhow. Alternatively your buddy in a different category could play with you in comp and just mark your card, not be eligible for a prize. My auld lad did that for me a few times.

    Are these scratch cups exclusive to the topgolfer tour players or are they open to anyone with gui?

    These events are open to anyone with a GUI handicap and its not mandatory to join the tour to play in an event.

    Joining the tour up just means being on the order of merit and on winning an event or via end of season playoffs, going to the championship event at the end of the season. This is a two day freebie knees-up with accommodation included.

    Thanks, one of the few remaining 36 hole scratch cups and very well run on possibly the best greens in Ireland, they were frightening fast and smooth last year. Any indication as to when the timesheet opens yet?

    Is there an online booking system for this to check availability and book? The Portmarnock Links website is particular poor and the only booking system I can find is through golfswitch.com which doesn't list open competitions and in this case the scratch cup itself.
